Antibodies against the myelin glycolipid galactosylceramide are widely used to study the distribution and function of this molecule. However, anti-galactosylceramide antibodies are not monospecific and have been shown to recognize epitopes carried not only by other glycolipids, but also by proteins. Using expression cloning we have identified a human kidney cDNA which induces a cell-surface protein recognized by the anti-galactosylceramide monoclonal antibody R-mab. These findings further support the idea that cross-reactive proteins may mediate some of the biological effects of the anti galactosylceramide antibodies.

Abstract
Antibodies against the myelin glycolipid galactosylceramide are widely used to study the distribution and function of this molecule. However, anti-galactosylceramide antibodies are not monospecific and have been shown to recognize epitopes carried not only by other glycolipids, but also by proteins. Using expression cloning we have identified a human kidney cDNA which induces a cell-surface protein recognized by the anti-galactosylceramide monoclonal antibody R-mab. These findings further support the idea that cross-reactive proteins may mediate some of the biological effects of the anti galactosylceramide antibodies.
